From Grant Leishman's 5-star ***** review of John F. Kennedy: Light the World: “The author has created a wonderful play that celebrates not just the life and times of the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, but also serves as a window to the current political discord and intense partisanship that is now the cornerstone of both American political life and American society as a whole…. The collection of songs and photographs was absolutely a highlight, and it makes me desperately want to see this play performed, which is perhaps the highest accolade I could give the author.” Click here to access other reviews of JFK: Light the World.

A Keepsake Book
This Keepsake book consists of a new original playscript with eighty one photos (81) of JFK, his tragic assassination, and events from that time, plus twelve songs (8 new, original folk tracks and 4 other traditional, and patriotic songs performed by professional Nashville artists).
John F. Kennedy: Light the World is an answer to the poisonous hate in our political discourse and culture that is slowly destroying our country. As President Kennedy said, “Let us not emphasize all on which we differ but all we have in common. Let us not consider what we fear separately but what we share together.”
We should remember"on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof."
ATTENTION THEATER DIRECTORS: A play belongs on stage, not in a book. Help me bring John F. Kennedy: Light the World to the stage. Plan your production now for 2027-28. Click the "Information aboout JFK: Light the World" button in the dropdown menu above. I truly believe that our country is in peril because of the hatred in our politics today. Kennedy's civility stands in direct contrast to that. It's my (probably naive) belief that this play and the passion that theater groups around the country can bring to it will make a difference. Maybe we're not too late. Maybe we can pick up the torch that Kennedy dropped when he was murdered. Maybe we can still Light the World.
P.S.: If you are seriously interested in a developing a production during 2027-2028, I have a limited number of FREE examination copies and album CDs that I'll be happy to share. Leave a comment below. I will respond ASAP.
